Bank of Nova Scotia proposes to offer Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., issued under its Senior Note Program and filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2). These unsecured, unsubordinated notes may pay a $8.834 contingent coupon per $1,000 (0.8834% monthly, approximately 10.60% per annum) on each monthly observation date if Amazon’s closing price is at or above 70.00% of the initial price.
The notes can be automatically called on monthly call observation dates from May 2026 through November 2026 if Amazon’s price is at or above the initial price; if called, holders receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon. If not called, at maturity on December 31, 2026 holders receive $1,000 plus the final coupon if Amazon’s final price is at or above 70.00% of the initial price; otherwise, repayment is reduced one-for-one with Amazon’s decline from the initial price, up to a total loss of principal and no coupon. The initial estimated value is expected between $900 and $930 per $1,000. Underwriting commissions are up to 2.15%, proceeds to the issuer at least 97.85%, use of proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Dell Technologies Inc., maturing on June 2, 2027. These unsecured senior notes pay a contingent coupon only when Dell’s closing price on an observation date is at or above 50.00% of the initial price. The coupon equals $8.959 per $1,000 times the number of elapsed observation dates, less coupons already paid, implying up to approximately 10.75% per annum.
The notes can be automatically called on monthly call observation dates from May 2026 through April 2027 if Dell’s price is at or above the initial price; investors then receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and no further payments. If not called and Dell’s final price is at or above 50.00% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon. If the final price is below 50.00%, investors receive shares of Dell worth less than 50% of principal (or cash equivalent if under one share), resulting in a substantial or total loss. The initial estimated value is expected to be $900–$930 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the notes are not insured by CDIC or FDIC and depend entirely on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured, unsubordinated structured notes linked to the price return of the Russell 2000® Index. The notes can be automatically called after about one year if the index closes at or above its initial level, in which case holders receive the $1,000 principal plus a fixed call premium of $120 (12%) and the notes terminate.
If the notes are not called and the index finishes above its initial level at maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus at least 143% of any positive index return. If the final index level is at or below the initial level but at or above 75% of the initial level, principal is repaid. If the final index level falls below 75% of the initial level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the index loss, and investors can lose their entire principal.
The notes pay no interest or dividends, do not provide ownership in index constituents, and will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The initial estimated value is expected to be $936.66–$966.66 per $1,000, reflecting fees, hedging costs and the issuer’s internal funding rate, and underwriting commissions may be up to 2.50%. All payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the common stock of Citigroup Inc. Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000. The notes run for about three years and may be automatically called after roughly one year if Citi’s stock closes at or above the initial level on the observation date, in which case investors receive the call price equal to principal plus a 15.20% call return and no further payments.
If the notes are not called, at maturity investors receive $10 plus any positive stock performance multiplied by an upside gearing of 1.25–1.50. If Citi’s final stock level is at or above a downside threshold of 50% of the initial level, principal is repaid. If the final level falls below this threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss in the stock, up to a total loss of principal. The notes pay no interest, offer no dividends or voting rights, are not listed, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $9.28 and $9.58 per $10 note.

If the index finishes at or above its initial level, the notes track the positive performance up to a Maximum Upside Return of at least 17.19% (set on the trade date). If the index finishes below the initial level but at or above 80% of it, the notes pay the absolute decline, up to $1,200 per $1,000 note. Below the 80% buffer, losses accelerate at 1.25% per 1% additional decline, potentially to zero.
Key terms include: expected trade date November 7, 2025 and settlement November 13, 2025; term of approximately 2 years; minimum investment $10,000 (denominations of $1,000).
